Search query

    I have an album called ‘Gallery 1’ which contains several photos. Each photo has a Photoname & Description.
    I have added the wppa+ Search photos widget in a secondary sidebar. I have a page called ‘Photo search results’ which includes [wppa type=”landing”][/wppa]

    In the widget’s configuration I have the landing page set as ‘Photo search results’ & in ‘Album’ I have selected Gallery 1.

    wppa+ settings Table ix E1 is set to ‘Photo search results’
    Table ix E6 is ticked
    Table ix E12 is set to ‘Albums and thumbnails’

    When I perform a search the result is: ‘No albums or photos found…’
    What have I missed?

    I have compared wppa+ settings on this site with those on a working site.
    The only difference I notice is that this site shows the following:
    Table viii A 8.1, 8.2 & 8.3 are all locked whereas on the working site they are not.

    This means that the search index table is not yet fully created.

    The background process to make the search index takes some time. After every pagerequest, a cron job runs for a few seconds to work on creating the index.
    This may take a while when there is hardly any traffic on the site.

    You can ‘help’ the process by having the settings page open on a browser tab. It will send an ajax request every minute ( a so called heartbeat ), to trigger the cron process.

    You can monitor the cron activity when you tick the box in Table IX-A9.1: Log Cron.
    This will log cron activity on the wppa logfile, see Table VIII-C1.

    Thanks.
    There’s still a problem – Table viii A 8.1, 8.2 & 8.3 are still locked. Maybe it’s not related to wppa+.

    You can check the log file to follow progress, or watch the counts decrement in “Settings”.

    Even with a powerful machine it can take quite a while for them to complete because they only do a few photos/albums at a time.

    List logfile shows:
    11:00 /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wppa&wppa-action=gettogo&slug=wppa_remake_index_albums
    11:00 /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wppa&wppa-action=gettogo&slug=wppa_cleanup_index
    11:00 /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wppa&wppa-action=gettogo&slug=wppa_remake_index_photos
    11:00 /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
    11:00 /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
    11:00 /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wppa&wppa-action=gettogo&slug=wppa_remake_index_albums
    11:00 /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wppa&wppa-action=gettogo&slug=wppa_cleanup_index
    11:00 /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wppa&wppa-action=gettogo&slug=wppa_remake_index_photos
    11:00 /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

    List index log shows ‘There are no index items’

    I assume that when you deactivate & delete the wppa+ plugin you then have to delete all the wppa cron events manually?

    Thanks. Appears to have required: define( ‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, true ); in the wp-config.php
